Description

On devices with API >= 29, the only storage option shown for podcasts is "Phone" with no details about the path. Users cannot change this location to a custom path they know.

It feels weird to see just one choice in the choice dialog. Consider hiding the choice dialog if there's just one choice and displaying podcasts storage path to users.

Research direction

Start from the Storage and data use screen and its podcast storage choice dialog, focusing on devices with Android API 29 or newer. Done means users can see the podcast download path and the choice dialog is hidden when only one storage option is available.
